Synopsis

In 2015, in the aftermath of the world’s greatest financial scam, a Malaysian child finds solace and guidance in an unlikely figurehead. The House of Brick and Stone uses the juxtaposition of its namesake as a step-off point to create a highly evocative odyssey through Malaysian youth consciousness. From fake documentary to mystery thriller, the directing variation is remarkable.
